SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1960 Former Prexy May Run In '6O (Continued from page one) Nixon and New York Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller. The budding duel-a fight which Rockefeller is helpless to prevent even if he wants to—was perhaps the most politically significant development on the opening day) of the filing period for Newl Hampshire's March 8 presiden-1 teal primary. In another development, two' women filed for Democratic dele-1 gate seats as candidates favorablel to Sen. Stuart Symington of Mis-I :mum, a self-described unavowedl presidential contender. And, as scheduled, Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass) formally plunged into the picture. His sup porters entered him in both sec-I lions of the early-bird primary, the preference poll as well as the convention delegate contest. Supporters of Nixon will cele brate his 47th birthday by en- bering his name in the prefer ence poll today. By day's end, this New Hamp shire primary pattern began to' take shape: Nixon and Kennedy are not likely to have any opposi-, tion in the so-called beauty con test phase of the balloting. For one thing, all the other potential presidential candidates in both parties have declined to challenge .Nixon and Kennedy directly. Fur thermore, a candidate is free to withdraw his name from the poll Laotian Government Begins Operation VIENIANE, Laos (RP) The new Laotian government began functioning yesterday. A member of the National Assembly, now dissolved and facing elections, called the new regime illegal. The caretaker Cabinet, Navy Device Dives 4'/2 Miles SAN DIEGO, Calif. (/P) The U.S. Navy's bathyscaph Trieste has dived more than 4 1 / 2 miles into the Pacific Ocean for a new world's record. Two men, a Navy submarine of ficer and a Swiss scientist, rode in the gondola-like ball under the cigar-shaped craft when it sank to 24.000 feet off Guam Thursday. This bettered the previous rec ord of 18,600 feet, made by the same craft in the same area Nov. 16 The Navy Electronics Labora tory here said it would continue dives in an attempt to reach 35,000 feet, the greatest known depth of the Marianas Trench. The Navy submarine officer, Lt. Donald Walsh, and Swiss scien tist Jacques Piccard were the men who became the first to penetrate the black, inner space of the ocean to the new record. Lights from the bathyscaph, mean deep boat in Greek, illumin ated the water for observations through transparent ports. Instrument records of sunlight penetration, visibility, sound, cur rents, temperatures, pressures were made during the six-hour dive.

Two Rockefeller backers filed yesterday and more are expected before the close of the one-month filing period. appointed by King Savang Vathana, took the oath of office in Buddhist rites. It is the first Laotian Cabinet ever named by the King without Assembly ap proval. Headed by Kou Abhay, 70, a moderate, the Cabinet restored civil authority after a week of army rule. Its main task is to prepare for the Assembly elec tions, probably in the spring. lAn Assembly deputy who asked to remain unidentified said the new Cabinet is illegal because it does not have Assembly approval. But he added that the lawmakers Tare planning no action. The new government came un der immediate criticism fr o m propaganda organs in Red China land North Viet Nam. The Peiping ,People's Daily said the regime ;would continue civil war, perse cute the leftist Pathet Lao, and rturn Laos into a full-fledged ;U.S. colony and military base." A Laotian spokesman at the ( United Nations in New York however, insisted that Laos will maintain a neutralist foreign pol icy. He said the Foreign Ministry also had authorized him to say that "on the internal plane the government will strive for na !tional reconciliation."

Two men already have been brought back. A ski-equipped Cl3O transport. from the Sewart (Tenn) Air Force Base, landed at the station 400 miles northwest of Barrow, Alas ka. The plane was being loaded to; return here, the station tadioed.l There wei e no further details. A second Cl3O used in the airlift,; also from Sewart, was being read ied for another trip Saturday. It; made the first rescue flight Thurs-I day. The first two men rescued said on arrival early Friday they had a laugh over radio reports they were in danger. "We were not worried. We ; didn't realize there was much dan ger until we heard those radio Ireports." said Charles R. Johns ton of Hyattsville, Md , and Wash lington, D.C. Mid-winter darkness shrouded the area, with only about an hour ;of daylight. The temperature was reported nine below zero with (snow falling. Flares and battery-operated runway lights gave some illumin ation for the rescue planes' ar rivals and departures. Johnston discounted reports that the island had been cracking up. He said "one great big piece fell off." About 2600 feet of ice which had been used for an air strip was lost but there was still some 4000 feet of runway available, he said The island was .originally about four miles wide and seven miles long. Evacuation of the island per sonnel was expected to take sev eral days. The scientific equip ment, valued unofficially at sev eral hundred thousand dollars and incl•:ding some valuable electron ic gear, was also to be salvaged. Congressmen Return to WASHINGTON (1P) With Congress in an early session lull, senators and representa tives busied themselves yes terday in strategy huddles, party organization meetings, and doing chores for the home folks. Both the House and the Senate, were in recess until Monday. But there were signs that, once start ed in earnest, the session will have few pauses in the drive to adjourn ahead of the national po litical conventions in July. In re cent years Congress has been sit ting into September. The appropriations situation generally holds the key to ad journment plans that is, when the 15 annual money bills are out of the way the session's end usually is not far off. Chairman Clarence Cannon (D- Mo) of the House Appropriations Committee said the aim is to have all the money measures on Pres ident Eisenhower's desk before July 2. To this end, Cannon already has put his subcommittee to work hearing testimony from federal of ficials and others on the first of the measures carrying funds for the many government programs in the bookkeeping year starting July Soviet Tests Port Of Space Program LONDON (in—Radio Moscow said last night the projected Soviet rocket tests in the central Pacific are part of a program preparing for "man's flight into interplanetary space." A scientist, Prov. F. Dobronravov, indicated the Russians intend to lay groundwork for •big developments in space research before the East-West summit meeting scheduled for May 16 in Paris. Thursday night the Soviet Union announced that a powerful new rocket, built to reach the planets, would be test-fired in the central Pacific east of the Marshall Is lands sometime between Jan. 15 and Feb. 15. Dobronravov recalled the So viet Union's achievements in firing a rocket carrying a sat ellite that photographed the hid den side of the moon. He went on: "Soviet scientists have reached the possibility of conducting soundings and scien- Itific research into interplanetary space with the aid of automatic ,cosmic rockets, "The creation is demanded of more and more heavy artificial celestial bodies, earth satellites and comic rockets, to enhance the effectiveness of such research and to obtain increasingly inter-' esting data both about the moon and other planets of the solar sys-1 tern, and also to prepare for man's flight into interplanetary space." Dobronravov gave no clues to the size of the rockets to be fired in the Pacific tests. The So viet Tass news agency already has said the rockets will be launched without their final stage—the section that would become a space satellite. The scientists added that similar tests ane to be carried out in the Soviet Union itself. "After such tests," he said "pow erful cosmic rockets will be launched with a last stage. This last stage will be brought accu rately into the set trajectory for a flight to planets of the solar sys tem so as to carry out research on them." 1. Behind-closed-doors hearingc, on three more money bills are due to start next week. Cannon said he has pledges - of cooperation from the Senate Appropriations Committee in speeding consideration of bills sent over from the House. Cannon and Rep, John Taber of New York, senior Republicans on the House pursestrings committee, agreed that Eisenhower's pro posed $79 8 billion budget for the 1961 fiscal year can and should be cut. All they know aobut the 'budget so far is the figure-de 'tails will be spelled out in Eisen hower's budget message Jan. 18. "It certainly has to be cut," Cannon said. "It is not consistent for the President to caution against self-indulgence in one 'breath and then propose spending Absentee Voter Law Signed By Governor HARRISBURG liP) A new absentee voting law, extending the privilege of voting by mail to certain civilians. was signed by Gov. David L. Lawrence yester day. For the first time, businessmen and workers unable to get to the polls on Election Day because their work takes them out of town will be able to mail ID an absen tee ballot. So, too, will persons who because of illness or physical disability won't be able to get to the polling place. In either case, 1 the voter has to be registered. 1 Until now, only servicemen and hospitalized or bedridden veterans had the absentee voting privi leges, hey still will not have to be registered The new law won't take care of sudden illnesses or out-of-town business trips, however. Applica tions for absentee ballots must be submitted no later than seven days before the election. The ear liest date they may be submitted is 30 day- before the election. I Also signed yesterday was a change in the election law permit ting use of a check mark as well as an "X" mark on ballots. Hepatitis Cases increase WASHINGTON 01 Viral heptatitis, a liver ailment that ranks high among public health problems, apparently is on the up swing again. Old Routine programs that amount to self-in dulgence." Cannon described Eisenhower as very optimistic in forecasting a surplus of $4.2 billion. As for Taber—one of the veteran mainstays of the economy bloc in the House—he repeated what he's been saying for years: "I never have seen a budget that couldn't be cut." Elsewhere on Capitol Hill: *Senate and House sponsors of school aid legislation got together to plan how to push for early ac tion on a billion-dollar bill to help localities build classrooms. • Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson sat down with six GOP members of the Senate Agri culture Committee, but they reached no agreement on farm leg islation.
